ContentStudio API Documentation

This is the complete API documentation for connecting to the ContentStudio API using MindCloud's Universal API. If you are new to MindCloud, start with the Introduction to see how one API can sit in front of many different apps.

MindCloud is an integration company that offers one normalized API to access 3,100+ apps from a single place. It cleans up provider-specific quirks, keeps requests and responses consistent, and centralizes authentication so you do not need to manage separate flows for every app. Browse other apps.

Quickstart

Before you run your first ContentStudio request, you need three things:

  1. A MindCloud account — sign in or create an account at MindCloud.
  2. A MindCloud API Key — create one in API Keys. Keep it on your server.
  3. At least one ContentStudio connection — create or choose one in Connections. Note its connectionId.

Every ContentStudio action uses the same URL pattern:

https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/contentStudio/latest/actions/{actionSlug}

You need a MindCloud API Key and a ContentStudio connection. Then call an action such as Get Authenticated User:

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/contentStudio/latest/actions/get-authenticated-user" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  --get \
  --data-urlencode "connectionId=$CONNECTION_ID"

Every response comes back in the same envelope, with your rows in a data array:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    { "id": "1042", "name": "Ava" }
  ],
  "meta": {}
}

After your first request works, use Shape your requests to control arguments, pagination, filtering, fields, and errors.

Authentication

Authentication has two layers. Your MindCloud API Key authenticates the request to MindCloud, sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The connectionId selects the connected ContentStudio account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the ContentStudio credentials behind that connection, so you never send provider tokens with your requests.

Pass connectionId in the query string for GET and DELETE actions, and in the JSON body for POST, PUT, and PATCH actions. Keep your MindCloud API Key on your server; do not ship it in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or logs.

Connect ContentStudio

You need a ContentStudio account and permission to generate API keys.

  1. Sign in to ContentStudio

    Open your ContentStudio dashboard with an account that can manage API keys.

  2. Open API key settings

    In the dashboard, go to Settings and then API Keys.

    Settings → API Keys

  3. Generate a new API key

    Create a new key for this MindCloud connection and keep it private.

  4. Paste the key into this connection

    Use the generated key as the connection value for this app. MindCloud sends it in the X-API-Key header.
